Get matched with top shelter or outbuilding builders in New Market, MD

"I interviewed 3 deck companies before hiring RJ Construction. Robert, the owner, was easy to work with. The estimate was very reasonable and thorough for removing the old deck, updating the sub structure, and building a new trex deck. The work was done shortly after signing the contract. His crew was amazing; very skilled and careful. The work was done within the contracted time, but not always on consecutive days. Periodically and at the end Robert came to evaluate the work and had the crew return to tweak a few minor issues. The end result was a deck that exceeded my expectations and met my high standards."

"We hired skills in construction llc to build our shed. The shed was a kit. The assembly of the shed was smooth. Skills in Construction was able to give us accurate estimates of time and additional materials needed. Very helpful and friendly. Would hire again."

"Manny was very quick to respond. He stayed in contact with me during the week to ensure I understood what I was paying for and he wanted to ensure he understood what I was requesting. Communication was key for me because it showed he valued me as a customer and he wanted to do the job. The painters were right on time at 8:00 and did exactly what was needed. I needed 2 bedrooms painted and had some patchwork needed from shelving that was on the wall and a black design on a wall that needed covering up. While I wouldn’t say the job was perfect (there is some paint on the ceiling and baseboards, which I wish wasn’t there. I like even painting without smudges or runoffs from the edges) I’m not nitpicking. There was some cleanup left behind for me, but very minor. Very professional and nice and I’m glad I called! Will probably use again. I have 2 bathrooms and a bedroom next on the list."

"It went great. Owner, Ken Hewitt, was friendly, clear and helpful. The project was finished in very good time, and the work crews were all professional and friendly."

"It was wonderful that they came out on such short notice, and they did a
very professional job.  I would not hesitate to use them again or
recommend them.

"We took our time making a decision after getting the design and quotes, but Peter Belman patiently and politely waited us out, without changing the price.  We were amazed at how quickly they were able to do the garage and are extremely pleased with the result!

"My garage door?s cable/spring broke. I called ABC garage door and they arranged for a technician, Danny Sligo, to make an assessment and have it fixed. He did an outstanding work, quickly and clean. He explained what he was going to do and completed the work in 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

"Although we have not moved forward yet to build our screened-in porch, James and his team at DesignBuilders will be the contractor I select when we do.  (Due to an unexpected health concern with a family member, we had to put our plans on hold.)   We want to add a 14? by 16? screened enclosure to our existing deck which is extremely high off of the ground.   While the other two contractors complained about this (one even charged extra for it) James was confident that he could build exactly what I wanted no matter what obstacles our location would present.
I interviewed three contractors for our project.   Their proposals all fell within $2000 of each other.  Yet James was by far the most professional and knowledgeable of the group.  The other two contractors merely pencil-drew their vision of the porch while James and his team provided a computer-aided design (cad cam) of the proposed porch.  When I called to set up the initial appointment, James asked me to first send him a few pictures of my project area, a site survey (plat), and a brief description of what my project entails. 
Jodie, his designer (who is amazing and very personable!) then used this information to set up an online meeting.  For those of you who have never experienced an online meeting, don?t let it intimidate you ? Jodie is so helpful; she will walk you right through it.  Jodie builds a sample design for your project so you can give instant feedback and make necessary design changes right on the spot.  The online meeting is a starting point.  Next is the site visit by James and his team, who, because of the preliminary online meeting, arrive with a good working knowledge of your project.   Unlike your average contractor, James is ahead of the game and can provide you with much more detail about what you can expect when the project is completed. 
Because my roof lines were so complicated, Jodie came to my home to make sure she had all of the information she needed.  Just like James, Jodie is very professional and very easy to talk to.  She immediately put me at ease.  The cad cam designs she prepared gave me a clear picture of the different roof options (gable, shed, flat, etc.).  They also showed how the porch would attach to my house from several points of view.  This gave me a very detailed picture of what the finished project would look like.  All contractors should offer this approach!  It allows you to tweak and modify the design to your exact specifications. 
Next Jodie, James and Edward (another awesome DesignBuilder team member) came to my house and spent more than an hour suggesting a variety of options and some alternative approaches for me to consider - some I would never have thought of. They came up with some excellent solutions to the problems associated with our complicated roofline issue.  We settled on a design that met all of my needs while keeping the project within my budget. 
When James sent me his proposal, I felt very confident that he included pricing for every stage of the project, with no hidden fees or surprises.  James and his team prepared two design options, each with detailed pricing and a cad cam picture of how the finished product would look.  I loved both options, so I have the flexibility to pick the one that best fits my needs when I?m ready to start the project.
James has several videos on YouTube (search ?James Moylan builder?) and at his website http://www.designbuildersmd.com  that show his building process from beginning to end.  These videos will clear up any doubts you might have about the quality of his work or his experience in the field.   His is extremely knowledgeable, his team offers the level of professionalism and comfortable communication that is very hard to find among builders and remodelers, and every person I?ve talked with DesignBuilders has shown a genuine interest in my building project. 
Without a doubt, when we are ready to move forward with our project, DesignBuilders will be the contractor we hire! 
(Note:  This review was written by an actual homeowner in Columbia, MD.  I am not connected financially in any way with DesignBuilders.  In fact, I first became aware of Design Builders by searching Angie's List myself!  I am a homeowner who believes it is important to recognize and document great service by a contractor and share it with the Angie's List community.  In this way, we all benefit.  Good luck with your project!)

"Up until contract signing this company was amazing. They sent out estimators on several different occasions when I changed the parameters of the project, they would answer calls immediately, or respond to emails promptly, but that all changed once I had signed on with them for the project.
Starting the second day of the project (which was estimated at two weeks to finish) there were problems, mainly that no one showed up. Thinking that Maxsell knew what they were doing I did not inquire why they had not shown up, or communicated any reason why they were not there. The third day was the same story, no workmen showed up and I received no call/email/text about why. On the fourth morning I tried calling, emailing and texting, but got no answer until the end of the day letting me know that the mason had called in sick (no masonry work was actually performed until several weeks later).
Around the fourth week I was contacted and informed that they had chosen a different product and that they were loading it on the truck at the moment, but they had never discussed using a different product, and after I looked it up I found out that the new product did not include any of the warranties that the original had. Needless to say I was upset, but with a written guarantee from the company I felt I could let this slide.
Over the course of the six week project (I was told that it would be two weeks at the most) I spoke with the contractors less than a handful of times, mostly because they would not answer calls, the voice mail boxes were full and messages could not be left, and when contacting their office they would only reply through text or email.
So if you can wait 4-5x the estimate they give you, and you don't mind never being able to contact them, these are the contractors for you.
